Webpack-dev-server: webpack.config.js, webpack-dev-server open option has bug.

Created on 25 Jun 2017 · 20Comments · Source: webpack/webpack-dev-server

on the [email protected]. I was set like this.

    devServer: {
        hot : true,
        inline: true,
        host: '0.0.0.0',
        disableHostCheck: true,
        port: 3000,
        open : true,  // this is point option
        contentBase : "public",
        watchOptions: {
            aggregateTimeout: 300,
            poll: 1000
        }
    },

I expect open http://localhost:3000/ on browser, but the behavior is http://localhost:3000/undefined.
So I tested on [email protected]. It works good. I think @2.5.0 bug. How about reference require('opn'). I guess this module is related the behavior.

Thanks !

As a quick fix, you can add openPage: '' to your options:

  devServer: {
    host: 'localhost',
    port: 3000,
    contentBase: './dist',
    hot: true,
    open: true,
    openPage: '', // <== Add this
  },

Can confirm. I had to downgrade to 2.4 to get it working again.

Same for me. Using the --open CLI option still works as expected, however. I speculate that this is some order of operations issue, where the middleware is called before the paths are set.

Use reactions 👍 option if you want to give more value to this issue instead of commenting +1.
